Kinetiscape offers a unique playscape experience that connects imaginative play, exploration and cognitive development. It challenges children to make discoveries in their environment and within themselves and provides the feel of an organic, growing environment. A governor underneath utilizes weights and centripetal force to make it safe to spin without fear of moving too fast. Because it is flush to the ground, there's no danger of kids missing a step or getting an arm or leg trapped. Children have complete freedom to slide down, climb up or take cover underneath the playscape.
